The 2005 FIU Golden Panthers football team represented Florida International University (FIU) as a member of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2005 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by fourth-year head coach Don Strock, the Panthers compiled an overall record of 5–6 with a mark of 3–4 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for third in the Sun Belt.
